2012 Map of South Butte

About this map

Big Chino Wash dominates the drainage of this Yavapai County landscape, as seen in this 2012 survey. The area is defined by its wide, sandy washes and ranching infrastructure, notably at K 4 Farms and the Chapman Ranch Airstrip. Local transportation in this high desert region relies on a network of unpaved corridors including Big Chino Wash Rd and Forest Service routes like Fs 18. To the north, the terrain is marked by the prominence of South Butte, while several seasonal watercourses such as Partridge Cr and Pine Cr cut through the arid flats. The map provides a detailed view of the remote ranching and aviation footprint that characterizes this portion of Arizona.
